Creating and editing groups

Groups allow you to control who can see certain vehicles, drivers, technicians, or assets. When you create a group, you can add vehicles, drivers, technicians, and assets to it. Then you can choose which users can access the group.

Groups are used to:

  • Organize your fleet in categories, such as region, vehicle type, or asset type.

  • Restrict users from viewing items in a group.

  • Filter views in parts of Reveal such as Live Map, Reports, Replay and Scheduler.

Note

By default, administrators have access to all groups.
